Synthesis, crystal structure and fluorescence emission of complexes of lanthanide picrates with 2,2′-[1,2-phenylenebis(oxy)]bis(N,N-diphenylacetamide) (PBD)
Abstract Solid complexes of lanthanide picrates with 2,2′-[1,2-phenylenebis(oxy)]bis(N,N-diphenylacetamide) (PBD) have been prepared in ethanol. These complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, IR, electronic and 1H NMR spectroscopies. The crystal and molecular structures of [Y(pic)3(PBD)]·3.8CH3CN have been determined. The crystal structure shows that the Y(III)
